I know some people like long holidays, but I tend to prefer short ones. Today is one of those breaks for me. I’m coming back from Pensacola and SQL Saturday #132, taking the day off as I spent Sunday and the morning with my daughter.

This was a combination of work on Fri night/Sat for the event, and then a mini-vacation on Fri morning, Sunday, and Monday morning for the two of us. A little Daddy/daughter time that we both enjoy and look forward to.

Remember to get those breaks in when you can, and take advantage of the chance to spend time away from work if you are traveling and can fit it in.
